Authorities spent Thursday night searching for Stefan Bibb, 27, who they said was armed and dangerous. Bibb was captured about 7:15 a.m. on Shiloh Road East, authorities said.

Authorities said Bibb spent the night hiding behind a building off Shiloh Road. When he came out Friday morning, someone spotted him and called police. He was arrested near an industrial building, authorities said.

"We took him into custody without incident," said Sheriff Bryan Bailey. "First he tried to deny it was him, but of course with the physical description and clothing, of course we knew it was him."

Bailey said Bibbs was in pretty rough shape and had suffered cuts from thorns as he ran through the woods and bug bites as he hid outside overnight.

"We had an army of men and women protecting the citizens from the time it started to the time it ended," Bailey said.

Officers could be seen speeding through the area along Shiloh Road Thursday night, past ball fields filled with young soccer players.

"There were police cars everywhere, fire trucks, ambulances. They told them to get in their house and lock their doors. Don't come out because somebody was on foot (and) armed," resident Darlene Holliman said. "A lot of parents are nervous. That's why we're all out here today instead of dropping them off."

Police searched vehicles and staked out the neighborhood as they watched for Bibb.

Investigators said Bibb was driving a stolen Chrysler from an Enterprise dealership in Crestview, Fla., before the crash.

Authorities said he's wanted in Florida in connection with armed robbery and probation violation charges.

"Where he crashed and abandoned his vehicle, it is hundreds and hundreds of acres of nothing but woods, so it's kind of like finding a needle in a haystack," Brandon Police Department Assistant Chief Chris Butts said.

Several agencies were involved in the search on both the ground and in the sky.

Bibb was charged in Rankin County with two counts of evading police and one count of possession of stolen property, Bailey said. He was being held Friday at the Rankin County Jail.
